Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 156 Tea Eggs

Before dinner at night, her father Yang Weibo rushed home, but the only prey in his hand was a small pheasant.

Chunqiu was driven out by her mother to feed the little chickens in the cage. After pouring all the reconciled things into the cage, Chunqiu glanced at the door. When she saw her father, Chunqiu squinted his eyes and jumped. Jumping forward to greet her, "Father, what good things did you bring back this time?" After Chunqiu finished speaking, she quickly lowered her head and looked between Yang Weibai's hands, but to Chunqiu's disappointment, there was only one in her father's hand that looked like Skinny, bad pheasant.

Chunqiu was greatly disappointed, and his whole body became wilted all of a sudden, just such a little chicken, it is not as good as eating tea eggs.

Yang Weibo noticed the disgusted expression of the girl on the side, stretched out his spare hand in a funny way, and patted Chunqiu's little head, "Okay, there's an oil bottle hanging from the corner of this mouth, before the heavy snow blocked the mountain, where is it in the mountain?" There is also wild game, it would be nice to catch one. Dad, go and deal with this pheasant. You go and tell your mother that I am back." Yang Weibo was anxious to deal with the pheasant in his hand. There was no way, this pheasant was The pheasant's paws were already bleeding when he fell into the trap, and now that he had walked such a long mountain road, the pheasant in his hand was already dying, so Yang Weibai had to clean up the pheasant first.

After hearing her father's words, Chunqiu nodded reluctantly at first, then turned around and left as if thinking of something, was shocked in his heart, turned to look at her father quickly, and said in a flustered tone, "Father, you said that the mountain There are no small beasts? Then what will the big beasts do if they have nothing to eat? They can’t go down the mountain.” Oops, Chunqiu’s heart skipped a beat, and she didn’t complain that the pheasant in her father’s hand was too skinny. She was worried about another thing now. It is whether those wild beasts on the mountain that have no food to wrap their stomachs will run down after a surprise attack. You know, their Yangjia Village is not far from Black Mountain.

After listening to Chunqiu's words, Yang Weibo didn't come back to his senses for a while, and stared blankly at the daughter who asked the question, and the father and daughter were speechless for a while.

After a pause, Yang Weibo looked serious, and asked directly, "Qiu'er, who did you hear these words from?"

Chunqiu was taken aback by his father's sudden appearance, then he licked the corner of his mouth nervously, and said calmly but well-organized, "Father, I read this from the book, and the book said , The mountain is blocked by heavy snow, and the tigers and wolves descend the mountain, which means that there is no food on the mountain, and the tigers and wolves will run down the mountain to eat people..."

I have also heard it in the Spring and Autumn Period in my previous life. At the beginning of spring, the beasts on the mountain would run down the mountain to steal the farmers’ vegetable fields or attack the farmers because they did not have enough food. Now it is spring, when everything is recovering. The heavy snow before She didn't give the beasts a living on the mountain, and looking at the pheasant brought back by her father, she knew that the beasts on the mountain were also not doing well. If it made people hungry, it was not impossible to run down the mountain and eat people.

After listening to Chunqiu's words, Yang Weibo thought carefully for a while, and finally stretched out his hand and rubbed Chunqiu's serious little face, with a smile on his face that seemed not to be affected at all, "Kids, don't think about it , it’s okay, there are no wild animals in the mountains.”

Seeing her father's expression that didn't seem to be fake, Chunqiu gradually felt relieved, but!Chunqiu unhappily waved away her father's big hand that was making trouble on her face, turned her head and left directly, really, her father is really annoying!Worry for nothing!

What Chunqiu didn't know was that the moment she turned around, Yang Weibo's smiling face suddenly became gloomy. Yang Weibo thought of the wild boar's corpse he saw before, and made people feel horrified, and looked down. With only one breath left in his hand, he paused for a moment before turning around and leaving...

When Huzi came back at night, he saw the long-awaited meat on the table. Although the pheasant was thin and didn't look like much meat, after cutting it open, it was still stewed for about half a pot.

Because he was worried that the chicken would not be cooked enough if the tiger came back early, Yuan shi specially increased the heat. When the tiger came back, the chicken was just out of the pot. Although it was still a little hard, it was still edible.

In addition to the chicken, there are also tea eggs that Chunqiu had prepared a long time ago. Chunqiu peeled off the skin of each tea egg and placed them in a bowl. Huzi put his backpack on the bookcase beside him, and then directly Stretched out the stool and sat down.

"Huzi, go and wash your hands, oops, it's almost dirty." Yuan brought up the bowl and chopsticks, saw Huzi who was going to use his hands directly, and lifted the tiger down angrily.

Huzi was dragged by the neck by Yuan, and he was lifted off the stool.

"Mother, let me have a bite before going." Huzi backed away and acted like a baby.

"No, hurry up and wash your hands." Yuan Shi refused directly. Spring and autumn are the seasons when you are most likely to get sick, and Yuan Shi didn't want her son to stay sick for a few days.

Huzi couldn't resist Yuan Shi, so he had to lower his head and wash his hands in the sink beside him.

Seeing that Hu Zi was done, Yuan Shi loosened his collar and nodded, "Okay, let's go back to eat."

Huzi nodded, and ran back to the table as if full of blood, this time he didn't hesitate before, picked up the chopsticks at the side, put a piece of chicken into it, and bit it hard recently.

"It's delicious, it's delicious"

When Chunqiu came in, he heard Huzi saying this.

Chunqiu smiled, "Hu Zi, how long has it been since you ate meat?" Don't be so excited, I don't know, I thought his parents abused him.

"Third sister, come here quickly, this chicken is delicious!" Huzi's cheeks were filled to the brim, and his speech was slurred, but his excitement became vivid.

Chunqiu squinted his eyes, and sat down on the stool, "Try this, it's delicious." Chunqiu picked up the tea eggs on the side and put them directly into Huzi's bowl.

Huzi frowned and asked, "Third Sister, isn't this a dyed egg? I don't want it." Huzi pursed his mouth, indicating that he didn't want to eat it.

"What is a dyed egg? Are these tea eggs?" Huzi was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He said he didn't know much. After all, he was too young to know. However, Chunqiu held his breath no matter what he thought, never thought that the tea eggs he had worked so hard to marinate for him would be disliked, Chunqiu now has a sad face capitalized.

"Eat" Chunqiu couldn't help but crush the egg, and then threw it into Huzi's mouth violently.

Huzi was helpless, facing the violent third sister, he could only succumb to Chunqiu's lust, and reluctantly swallowed the dyed eggs.

Unexpectedly, the egg tastes delicious when it enters the mouth? !Huzi's eyes lit up, and regardless of how disgusted he was before, he took another piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Chunqiu smiled and smiled, thinking, Xiao Mian, I can't cure you, hum!

When Yuan Shi and Yang Weibo came in, they found a tea egg in each of their bowls, which of course was left by Chunqiu on purpose.

Yuan Shi sat down with a smile, then picked up the egg in the bowl with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to eat, huh?There is no fishy smell like freshly baked eggs. Instead, it is a mixture of tea and spices, and it is salty and delicious.

"Is this what Qiu'er made during the day called tea eggs? Not to mention, it tastes weird? The smell of tea leaves can travel as far as you can go," Yuan said to the people around her, then lowered her head to eat I took a bite of an egg.

"Really? Then I want to try it." After listening to Yuan Shi's words, Yang Weibo picked up the chopsticks beside him with a smile and picked up the egg, then put it in his mouth and chewed it, "Not to mention, it's delicious What?" Yang Weibai chewed the egg into pieces and swallowed it into his mouth, then turned his head and smiled at Chunqiu.

Don't mention how proud Chunqiu's little expression is now, she just said, there is nothing bad about the food she cooks, look, isn't everyone conquered by the tea eggs she shipped out now!
"Third Sister, bring me some to study tomorrow, or I'll always be hungry." Hu Zi is already pre-ordering tomorrow's tea eggs, and reading consumes a lot, and he's hungry every day before lunch Gotta coo.

Tea eggs were originally prepared for Huzi, although preserved eggs and preserved eggs were not made because of trouble.Although the tea eggs made today were eaten by several people, the soup can be used repeatedly. If the tigers want to eat it tomorrow, she will go to make a few more today, so there is no trouble.

Chunqiu waved his little hand directly, as if it was nothing to do, "Okay, the third sister will do it for you in a while, and then the tiger can take it away tomorrow."

"Third Sister is so nice!" Hu Zi stretched out his hands and applauded repeatedly after hearing this, and he didn't even eat the chicken beside him.

Yuan Shi looked at the two mischievous children, covered her mouth and smiled, "Okay, okay, let's eat quickly, the chicken should be cold."

When Chunqiu heard her mother's words, he laughed a few times, and then he and Huzi fell into the obsession with eating meat again. Relatively speaking, she still prefers to eat meat.

After dinner, Chunqiu took the tiger and brought some eggs out of Yuan's basket. Yuan gave more this time, so Chunqiu and the two of them ran to the kitchen with the small basket, and started to eat. Making tea eggs for tomorrow night, Chunqiu thought, if the tea eggs are stewed overnight, they should taste better tomorrow.

Yuan Shi and Yang Weibo were left in the room, Yuan Shi was busy clearing the table, Yang Weibo sat on the edge of the kang, after thinking about it, he said to Yuan Shi, "Daughter-in-law, let me go to Uncle Yang's house, this autumn My son said something, and I don't feel at ease..." Yang Weibo repeated what he said to him today, Chunqiu, and Yuan Shi nodded after hearing this. The fact that the beast went down the mountain is indeed a big deal, and he told Yang Weibo to be careful when going out at night. .

Yang Weibo smiled, and walked out of the house in the hazy moonlight...
